1-2 weeks, 3-8 weeks | Selective
During the cardiovascular inpatient floor rotation, you will be a member of an interprofessional team caring for patients with complex cardiovascular conditions.
1-2 weeks | Selective
Aimed to equip medical students with a solid conceptual and clinical understanding of ECG interpretation. Through interactive self-directed lectures and regular practice, students will develop the foundational skills to become competent and confident in ECG interpretation.
1-2 weeks | Selective
Students will be introduced to the performance and interpretation of echocardiographic studies as they apply to cardiovascular diseases. This selective will also help students gain a basic understanding of echocardiographic and Doppler methods of assessing cardiovascular anatomy and hemodynamics.
1-2 weeks | Selective
This selective will expose students to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The student will observe evaluation of cardiac rhythm problems with discussion in conference of management and electrophysiology procedures in the electrophysiology lab.
1-2 weeks | Selective
This selective will emphasize the physiologic basis for clinical manifestations and therapy of cardiovascular diseases. Students will be introduced to the interpretation of common cardiovascular diagnostic procedures and work with a Cardiologist on the cardiology inpatient consultation service.
1-2 weeks | Selective
Students will observe coronary, non-coronary, and endovascular interventions in the cath lab. Students will be exposed to all aspects of interventions, including routine and complex angioplasty, rotational atherectomy, thrombectomy, distal protection devices, and stenting.
Longitudinal | Selective
The Cardiothoracic Surgery Selective has been developed in close collaboration with surgeons specializing in cardiac and thoracic surgery, providing experience in this specialized field.
3-8 weeks | Selective
On the Cardiovascular Diseases Service, students are responsible for evaluating patients, presenting them to the supervising consultant, and following the patients' care.
3-8 weeks | Selective
Students are supervised by & round with a resident on the inpatient service. Students will be encouraged to attend cardiac tests & procedures on inpatients (cardiac catheterization, electrophysiological studies, treadmill testing, cardioversions, transthoracic & transesophageal echocardiography).
Longitudinal | Selective
Gain early exposure to careers in Cardiovascular Medicine (including both the medical and surgical career paths). We want to provide our members with workshops, panels, and research opportunities, while also leveraging the group to make meaningful contributions to the greater Scottsdale/Phoenix communities.
